Go to Workdesk and Settings to set up the correct file path for your DCP(.ini) files. Select the tap of telemetry and browse to C:\Bosch\DCP. Select Apply in Settings and close with OK the window.
Note: If the same Laptop which is configuring WDServer is also flashing the logger and therefore creating new DCP files, make sure the path in Racecon matches the path in WDServer. In this case C:\Bosch\DCP. Use this option only if you are using/flashing only one car.
